Review
If you have read any of T.M. Logan’s previous novels, you can be safe in assuming that this current book will be another page-turner. It most certainly is!
Doting father, Ed Collier takes an instant dislike to his daughter’s new boyfriend, Ryan Wilson. His wife Claire and mother-in-law Joyce don’t agree. As a former Army officer, successful businessman, special constable and retirement home volunteer, they think Ryan is the perfect partner for their beloved Abbie. So why are Ed’s instincts giving him such a strong warning about Ryan? When Abbie and Ryan announce that they are engaged and due to marry in a mere six weeks’ time, Ed takes it upon himself to investigate his future son-in-law and uncover Ryan’s secrets, before it’s too late . . .
As Ed becomes increasingly obsessed with Ryan, he puts his family, friendships and his career on the line. His life begins to spin out of control and combined with Ed’s guilt over a past event, I must admit that there were times when I doubted Ed’s credibility as a narrator. I began to suspect that maybe the story was less about Ryan’s suitability and more about Ed approaching a midlife crisis!
Logan really is a master of suspense. The book begins with a tantalising opening scene before plunging head first into a tense and compelling page-turner. It’s fast, it’s twisty, it’s intense and it’s clever. The book explores the darker side of family relationships – love, loyalty, guilt and loss. Logan has a knack of being able to turn something completely normal into something terrible sinister and very unsettling.
The Catch, is a truly gripping domestic thriller that I would happily recommend to fans of psychological thrillers and domestic noir.
